White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Christmas is a few weeks away, and I always bake cookies during the holidays! I guess I'm hoping Santa will stop by and indulge in some lol. Today I'm going to share these amazing white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I fell in love with these cookies when I had some from a local bakery a few years ago and since I can't get them anymore I just bake my own! I like to lightly toast my macadamia nuts to give them a nutty taste, you don't have to do this they'll still taste good. Bake these cookies and take them to the office cookie exchange or pot luck and watch everyone drool!
